well from personal experiance... thats how my BF and i got together i told him how i felt.. we were friends for a while and one day i said to him "i like you do u wanna go out with me??" and he was like "yea i like you too but i was afraid to tell you because i thought i wasnt good enugh for you" nd we will be together for 4 years in July... but i think that you shuld tell him and if you truly are good friends and he doesnt like you it shuldnt hurt your friendship... but if he does then good for u!
